Background and Purpose: The European Association of Urology guidelines recommend restaging transurethral resection of bladder tumours (reTURB) 2–6 weeks after primary TURB. However, in clinical practice some patients undergo a second TURB procedure after Bacillus Calmette-Guérin immunotherapy (BCG)induction. To date, there are no studies comparing post-BCG reTURB with the classic pre-BCG approach. The aim of this study was to assess whether the performance of reTURB after BCG induction in T1HG bladder cancer is related to potential oncological benefits. Materials and Methods: Data from 645 patients with primary T1HG bladder cancer treated between 2001 and 2019 in 12 tertiary care centres were retrospectively reviewed. The study included patients who underwent reTURB before BCG induction (Pre-BCG group: 397 patients; 61.6%) and those who had reTURB performed after BCG induction (Post-BCG group: 248 patients, 38.4%). The decision to perform reTURB before or after BCG induction was according to the surgeon’s discretion, as well as a consideration of local proceedings and protocols. Due to variation in patients’ characteristics, both propensity-score-matched analysis (PSM) and inverse-probability weighting (IPW) were implemented. Results: The five-year recurrence-free survival (RFS) was 64.7% and 69.1% for the Pre- and Post-BCG groups, respectively, and progression-free survival (PFS) was 82.7% and 83.3% for the Pre- and Post-BCG groups, respectively (both: p > 0.05). Similarly, neither RFS nor PFS differed significantly for a five-year period or in the whole time of observation after the PSM and IPW matching methods were used. Conclusions: Our results suggest that there might be no difference in recurrence-free survival and progression-free survival rates, regardless of whether patients have reTURB performed before or after BCG induction.

Urothelial carcinoma of the bladder with variant histologies is usually underdiagnosed and understaged. It is found in <25% of cases during transurethral resection of bladder tumours. The majority of cases carry worse prognosis, with higher rates of recurrence and progression, and should be managed agressively. Here, we report a rare case of liposarcomatoid variant of urothelial carcinoma managed by partial cystectomy and standard pelvic lymph node dissection

The effects of a continuously warmed irrigating solution on body temperature during transurethral resection of the prostate and of bladder tumours were studied in forty patients. Anaesthesia was spinal and deep body temperatures of the forehead and lower abdomen were measured, using a deep body thermometry system. Both forehead and lower abdominal deep body temperatures decreased significantly in the patients who underwent transurethral resection of the prostate with an irrigating solution at operating room temperature, but did not decrease in the patients who received a continuously warmed irrigating solution. The same results were obtained for the patients who underwent transurethral resection of bladder tumour. Our results indicate that a continuously warmed irrigating solution could prevent the fall in body temperature during transurethral resection, especially prostate resection, under spinal anaesthesia.
